the president wants to channel king so badly that he's decided to use dr. king's bible at the inauguration ceremony tomorrow. obama is a politician and a pretty good one. but king was a prophet. while i can appreciate the president's fascination with king's legacy of unarmed truth and unconditional love, i'm feeling some sort of way about king being used symbolically for a public pomp and circumstance but disregarded substantively when it comes to public policy. >> no, we are not satisfied and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream. >> reporter: our future as a nation depends on our seriously we take the legacy of dr. king. justice for all. service to others. and a love that liberates people. for all the dysfunction that our country is exhibiting at the moment, dr. king reminds us that the time is always right to do right. we should never be afraid to do what's right especially if the well being of a person is at steak. society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul

i think dr. king would cry. you've got to talk about there is a horrific dropout rate in the country, failure of urban schools. that's the civil rights challenge of this generation. and the culture. i was just listening to your interview with governor fallon. think about the culture. jay-z and his latest album. he's using the "n" word repeatedly. it's pornographic. it's invited for people to think authentic blackness you've got to be hip hop and hard. this is the tragedy of our day. >> david, where are we 50 years after "i have a dream?" >> not only 50 years after "i have a dream," chris but 270 years after the founding of this country. we reversed course on what was a worldwide tragedy. racism exists and we can't pretend it doesn't exists but can't pretend it exists everywhere. all the things juan talks about are true. we advanced to 2013. we need to tackle the new challenges. it's moral decay in this country. when it happens in the black community, it's not just the black community, it's the american community
